Below examples illustrate the Duration.dividedBy() method:

Example 1:




// Java code to illustrate dividedBy() method
  
import java.time.Duration;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Duration 1 using parse() method
        Duration duration1
            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");
  
        // Duration 2 as the divisor
        Duration duration2
            = Duration.ofHours(5);
  
        // Get the duration divided
        // using dividedBy() method
        System.out.println(
            duration1
                .dividedBy(duration2));
    }
}


Output:

10

Example 2:




// Java code to illustrate dividedBy() method
  
import java.time.Duration;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Duration 1 using parse() method
        Duration duration1
            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");
  
        // Duration 2 as the divisor
        Duration duration2
            = Duration.ofDays(5);
  
        // Get the duration divided
        // using dividedBy() method
        System.out.println(
